So Nintendo (at the briefing) just said no change in plans for the smartphone app roll out. Says they "are looking" at VR – with no details.

Video game industry analyst Dr. Serkan Toto is reporting that Nintendo mentioned Virtual Reality during today’s investors briefing. However, the company simply stated that it is something they are looking at. This doesn’t mean that they are busy creating their own Virtual Reality product, but they are watching the market.
That’s according to games industry analyst Serkan Toto, who reported that the prospect of virtual reality was noted during Nintendo’s recent investor briefing, with the platform holder simply acknowledging that it was ‘looking’ at the sector.
-||As an optional way of gaming maybe one day but I don’t want it to be the norm within the Empire||-
Right. But it’s something that they must get a hold of. Like motion controls. virtual reality is the next fucking thing to wow the consumers.
-||Yes but without proper use and regular great game released, then it will fade into the gimmick side where it had great potential but used poorly||-
-||Like the Wii and even worse the Wii U obviously||-
That is also correct. But every console is going to be targeting the same Vr technology. This is where I think nintendo surpasses the competitors with their uniqueness. Sure the Vr shouldn’t be the main control option but it should be treated like one and like you said before in a fucking proper way.
-||Metroid should be the leading banner for our Empire if they ever choose to use VR technology||-
Fucking brilliant! The Vr tech would make that game flawlessly good. Can just imagine having samus’ helmet on right now. I think nintendo has already nailed Vr technology though. Points at the 3ds.
I want a VR Starfox game. That would be neat!
Vr starfox…. yeah I don’t know about that one. Your in a spaceship. Controlling would be fucking weird lol.
No it would be easy, just grab your d!*k to move the shaft inside the aircraft! :)
-||Of course, my logic is undeniable||-
-||The only thing they have to “nail” now is making games that make at least a 98.9% fit for the technology or higher||-
-||Metroid of course has to be flawless||-
I wouldn’t say “undeniable” but O fucking kay.
Yeah pretty much all the games that use it are fucking rubbish. Face invaders? The fuck? But they’re just trying let us have some familiarities with the tech before it’s unleashed.
-||I’ll give you some links I found to XCX to help you with the probes||-
-||Hopefully your skells are powerful enough for some of these locations as a few of them have strong indigens close||-
Fuck sweet. Lay them on me. Playing like right now.
-||White and Black continent means Sylvalum and Cauldros respectively||-
-||I’ll look tomorrow how I set my probes to get over 17k credits at the same time you get 10k Miranium as it was a bit tricky, be also sure you get all or most Research Probes as it’s vital as well as Duplicator Probes and Booster Probes||-

Here’s my current progress
https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69i2jFUM9vNIvVX
As you can see I need more Miranium to even get things done. But right now I think I can net around 12k Miranium and 24k credits. That’s really nothing. I think I need to boost my storage probes so I can hold more Miranium. But idk. Why do you think of those stats?
-||Sorry I meant 100k not 10k||-
-||You have very low Miranium maximum to have progressed that much||-
Yeah I know. I need more stroge probes. But don’t know where to find them. The amount of Miranium I have now gets me by some missions but others I just don’t simply have enough.
-||The link I provided you gives the location for all 11 storage probes||-
Yeah I know. Hunting them down now. A few of them I already have.
I think the difference though was that Nintendo was the first out of the gate with motion controls. If you wanted to play in that new and innovative way, you needed to buy a Wii. By the time they get a VR headset to consumers, they’d already be way behind the curve with Oculus and PlayStation VR having the bulk of the market. I see them sitting this one out and trying to find that next, next thing to wow customers unless VR takes off in such a way that consumers expect it as a normal and required part of gameplay.
The only thing that wow me about VR is that price tag of a that peripheral.
They already said this
This should be the last thing Nintendo worries about…
I personally dgaf about VR. I enjoy Regular Reality. 😹
Yeah…”looking” Miyamoto looked at it before, he didn’t like it. That’s like me saying I walked by a Mcdonalds and looked at it. That doesn’t mean I’m actually doing anything with it.
This dude again… I still don’t get how he can run a big company, and Tweet all this info. Especially if he’s working with Nintendo. Japanese companies are really private..
If all these rumors are true, though… Then they do seem promising. Even though Miyahon is probably constantly looking at ideas for Nintendo :p
Nintendo really needs to prepare for VR taking off, and how to capitalize on it. I’m personally getting an oculus rift. Can’t help it, saw some demos that blew me away. Nintendo needs to go ahead and make a VR headset…I could not even imagine running through Hyrule in first person in VR. Or playing through a dungeon, or fighting a huge boss. That would be incredible… Honestly it would be a dream come true.
And I can look too. Seriously, they are in or they’re out, Google is going to steal the market if they don’t jump in soon.
VR is not going to be the future of gaming. Least not for a very long time. Why? Because not everyone can handle 3D for long periods of time & Virtual Reality is 3D to the extreme. Unless they can cure motion sickness, anxiety, & a plethora of other things that effect our nervous system in the next 25-50 years, not gonna happen.
For me, the whole concept of Virtual Reality seems too gimmicky. Especially if you have to wear silly goggles.
